Server memory upgraded -- hopefully the end of timeout probs

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 25 Oct 2002 3:22 User comments (3)

Ok, during the last two weeks the traffic during the peak hours (1600 - 2000 GMT) has been on levels that our dear old webserver has been choking to death under the load.
During the last two weeks we've upgraded the database engine and last night helpful guys of our ISP added yet another 512MB of memory to the server. So, let's hope that this will be enough to maintain the site up and running without any nasty surprises for a while (until we are finally forced to add another server and setup load balancing system).

I get almost no problems with the site and considering that the budget can't be huge, due to economic contraints, I am very impressed by the quality of this website. Paul.

I´ve had no problems except for the "Certificate signer not found"-problem.

No Problem here either except when reply's took a while to go through, but you wouldn't mind that!
